Blown Glass Spheres of Color and Light for Garden and Water
These beautifully crafted hand blown glass orbs will add a magical dimension to any landscape.
They are crafted by artisans in the United States and can be used on land or in water and will withstand the harshest of weather conditions.
The spheres come in round or egg shaped styles and are made of ¼'' thick glass with premium colors that will hold their intensity almost indefinitely. They are very durable and easily withstand run-ins with lawnmowers and weed wackers and in commercial settings.
The round orbs are available in two color patterns; standard and orbit. The egg orbs only comes in the orbit color pattern.
A 20-watt long life Xelogen bulb lights the sphere evenly over the entire surface. The bulb life is rated at 20,000 hours and an extra bulb is included.
The round orbs are 8'' in diameter and the egg shape is approximately 8'' tall. Both set in a cast silicon bronze base with a 3'' high fluted brass ground stem. The bronze and brass are nearly indestructible and ideal for all climates including coastal areas. Over time they will obtain a green patina color. An 8'' anchor goes into the ground.
The floating sphere is designed for ponds and fountains or you can hang them from ceilings or porches. It should not be used in ponds or pools where swimming, wading or bathing may occur.
Custom colors and round orbs 13'' and 18'' in diameter are also available. (Please inquire for pricing.)
The orbs are wired for using with a low voltage transformer (not included) and are relatively easy to install. The ground use sphere comes with a 2' wire lead and the water use orb a 9' submersible lead. To install, you or your electrician attaches the orb lead wire to a low voltage wire and transformer. Multiple orbs can be on the same line. The size of transformer you use will be determined by the number of spheres you have connected to the line.
The ground style orbs come with a standard 3'' high mounting stem but stems up to 36'' high are also available.
All orbs are made to order and may only be returned for manufacturing defects. They have a 3 year warranty against manufacturing defects.
